Hi keyboards thread I'm here to report on the quality of the CODE keyboard. This one has greens with the o-rings removed  I'm disappointed because greens are fantastic to type on  it took me less than a year to do this to the original keycaps. Now I need to sign up for some nerd massdrop to get better replacements.On the upside, I bought a unicomp to replace this one and that is now my favorite keyboard ever

Mercurius posted:also FopeDush the tenkeyless code keyboard is winning on one of the polls as well so you might be able to get one of those cheaper Thanks for the heads up but I really don't want to replace the whole board. I'd rather invest in a nice set of PBT keycaps made for backlighting. Probably these ones, in black: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-backlit-doubleshot-pbt-keycaps

How do I ask him to type quieter without sounding like an autist? NOTE: I have headphones that I wear all the time but they only slightly muffle the background noise because I don't listen to music Duh

Hi nerds My doubleshot PBT backlit massdrop arrived last night and I slapped it onto the code keyboard. Feels p. good Unfortunately the backlighting is on the upper part of the key so for the number row i have illuminated ! @ # $ % ^ but nearly invisible numbers oh well still feels good man I'll post pics when I have a chance

Roosevelt posted:when i first hooked it up, i was having a hard time figuring out what was so great about it. the buckling spring board felt more satisfying with the resistance and clackiness. but after an evening of typing i'm sold. the keys have a grippy feel to them and the keypresses are assertive but forgivign. where the spring board was like a powerful B17 flying fortress, this one is much more on the level of a sleek SR-71 blackbird or stealth bomber The P-26 peashooter of keyboards

El Laucha posted:Whats the general opinion on Wasd keyboards? Super solid boards but at the end of the day they're just a well-built board with Cherry switches. IMO their best value is in the fact that you can buy them with no keys then get yourself some sweet-rear end massdrop PBTs without paying for stuff you're going to throw out. If you fall into the small group of users who wants a keyboard that can switch (in hardware) between qwerty/dvorak/etc then it may well be the best option out there. I still thing the num/caps/scroll lights on the WASD v2 are very poorly positioned and I'm thinking about modding mine to move them. Alternately, if you really like the model M, you can check out some of unicomp's offerings. They have what is basically a model M but with a smaller footprint, windows key, USB, and black/gray colors. PBT keys and buckling springs out of the box and they're way cheaper than WASD e: http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UB40P4A burning swine fucked around with this message at 19:52 on May 3, 2016 |

Your best bet is still a unicomp, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. If you're dead-set on finding an antique mech keyboard with windows keys, you might look in to an AT101W

helllll yeah son AT101W was my first mech board. I painted mine blue and converted it to usb with a curly cable and loved it forever. Then one of the arrow keys died and I went off in search of greater glory  I still have it though and I'd consider fixing the one key then getting a sw8 keycap set

kalstrams posted:ayy lmao, it's a texan company that used to make good keyboards. unlabelled wasnt an option until like 3rd gen, and never was the only option for any given model either My recollection is that unlabelled was the only option on the first gen, and the second gen, which sold a ton of units, came in both varieties. Anyway we owe das a debt of gratitude for popularizing mech keyboards in general and cherry keys specifically I still use my das mark 2 with blues erryday and it continues to own

you _can_ get pbt doubleshot caps made for backlighting, and they're heck of heck of nice, but I don't know of any keyboard that comes with them stock, so you've gotta massdrop it. Then you might end up with weird poo poo like the symbol being lit up instead of the number on the top row, etc

when I converted my AT101W to usb I installed a hub in it. owned hard the das 2.0 has a hub, and mine is only a single cable. I think they added the second one to get more amperage
